Badspot uses Red Hat Linux to Host

[Altiris]

Badspot uses Red hat Linux to host Blockland right? Should he upgrade to Ubuntu or is it basically the same thing?

Which would be better to host a website, Linux, such as Red Hat or ubuntu? I have Windows Small Business Server 2011, is that okay? Is linux more reliable or something (besides being able to stay up longer)?

I hear Linux is just the industry standard for hosting in general, because it's just better than windows for everything except compatibility. I don't know for myself though, so don't quote me on that.

The choice between Windows and Linux is completely based on what web stack you want to run, I doubt either of them is more stable or will stay up longer. BS probably uses CentOS, a distribution based on Red Hat. CentOS is a pretty "standard" server OS, moving to Ubuntu wouldn't be an upgrade.

I have no idea how to make a website, I have some background on how to, I am using Microsoft expression web and using templates and then editing them but I cant edit everything for some reason, its being weird. Do you know any other good programs?
